Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup raisins or chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and beat until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Step 6

Stir in the rolled oats and your optional ingredient (raisins or chocolate chips). Mix until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers appear slightly underbaked.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
